Any football historians able to help?

Hi Monica. I am not a football historian but I have some information which may help or confuse you.

There was a Charlie Tully who played for Celtic born in Northern Ireland in 1924 and died in 1971.

Also a James Tully born in 1883 and died in 1949 who was an English footballer. Played for a variety of teams including Rochdale and Clapton Orient.

All the above comes from Wikipedia.

Wish I could read some of the other names on the bottom

Not very helpful am I and hope someone else comes along who has more knowledge of football.

Dorrie.

P.S. My family all support Hibernian going back generations. I wonder why your father supported Celtic??

I'm a Hibs supporter too, and have passed the virus on to one of my sons, although the other one supports Hearts.

There's a nice story about Charlie Tully. The queen was riding through Glasgow in an open carriage and Charlie Tully was sitting beside her. A voice in the crowd was heard to say, "Who's that sitting beside Charlie?"

GJ Aitken and AV Lothian were both teachers pre-WW1 at Stow Teacher Training College (it became Jordanhill Training College in the 1920s). 

Stow College had a team in the Glasgow Churches League so it is likely they helped to run its football team. Hence my best guess is that this is a photo of the Stow College team about 1910 - which fits with previous replies.

NB there was another Stow College founded in the 1930s which taught engineering and science.
